| Abstract: | Introduction The burden of disability, analgesia, and health services use associated with knee pain and osteoarthritis (OA) in developing
countries is relatively unknown, despite a high proportion of these populations required to be engaged in heavy occupational
physical activity throughout their life span. The aim of this survey was to estimate the burden of disability, analgesia,
and health services use associated with knee pain in rural China. |
